1732 1799 Augustin Beaumarchais Caron Clockmaker Country Side Depicted Friends Parasol Pierre Lavreince


EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Beaumarchais (Pierre-Augustin Caron) Reading His Works to Some Friends," is a charming depiction of the renowned French writer and clockmaker, Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, in the year 1799. The scene takes place in a serene countryside setting, with Beaumarchais sitting on a wooden bench, surrounded by a small group of friends. He is deeply engrossed in his works, holding a folio open in his hands, while his friends listen intently, some leaning in for a closer look, and others shading themselves with parasols from the sun. Beaumarchais, born in 1732, was a prolific writer and playwright, best known for his works "The Barber of Seville" and "The Marriage of Figaro." In addition to his literary accomplishments, he was also an accomplished clockmaker, having learned the trade from his father. The image captures the essence of an intellectual gathering, with Beaumarchais sharing his creations with those around him. The costume of the figures in the painting adds to the historical authenticity of the scene, with Beaumarchais dressed in a fashionable robe and tricorn hat, and his friends wearing the fashionable clothing of the late 18th century. The inclusion of parasols not only adds to the picturesque quality of the image but also serves as a reminder of the importance of sun protection during the warmer months. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when literature and intellectual pursuits were celebrated in the tranquility of the countryside. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the scene invites us to imagine the lively discussions and debates that must have taken place among Beaumarchais and his friends as they gathered to enjoy each other's company and the fruits of his literary labor.
